EPA v. INGALLS, TOWN OF

Case summary

THE TOWN OF INGALLS SPONSORED A CLEANUP DAY WHERE APPLIANCES WERE COLLECTED FOR DISPOSAL. AMONG THESE APPLIANCES WERE REFRIGERATORS AND AIR CONDITIONERS THAT CONTAINED REFRIGE- RANT. THE INDIVIDUAL IN CHARGE OF THE DISPOSAL DID NOT HAVE THE REFRIGERANT IN THE UNITS THAT WERE COLLECTED RECOVERED PRIOR TO DISPOSAL. INSTEAD, THE INDIVIDUAL CUT THE LINES, RELEASING CFCS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. U.S. EPA, WITH THE HELP OF THE INGALLS CHIEF OF POLICE, FILED THIS AO TO LET THE TOWN COUNCIL KNOW THAT THEY VIOLATED THE CLEAN AIR ACT AND THAT THESE ACTIONS MUST NOT OCCUR AGAIN. THE TOWN IS REQUIRED TO REPORT TO EPA IF ANOTHER CLEANUP DAY WILL BE SCHEDULED IN THE FUTURE. EPA WILL ENSURE THAT PROPER DISPO- SAL PROCEDURES ARE FOLLOWED IN SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.
